Love the fabric, pick up butterfly fabric when I can, never saw one that pretty.

KatFish 01-17-2011 11:51 AM

Beautiful OBW. I would have never though of cutting up the butterflys, but yours turned out great. Maybe I'll try that.

Gorgeous! Perfect fabric choice. can't wait to see it done!

Beautiful. I want to do one but am concerned that I will pick the wrong type of fabric. Was it a difficult one to do? I have a couple of books coming. Hope mine turns out even half as Great as Your's has. Hugs, Norma

jojosnana 01-17-2011 06:33 PM

Wow!

It's me with it in the queue.....bought it 11 months ago and havent cut it so far.

Great fabric for your first one.

The blocks are very interesting and varied. And the colours are very vibrant in the flesh. I bought enough for 12 repeats, but havent decided whether I will make the obw that big yet.

k3n 01-18-2011 02:19 AM

Just an idea, if it was me I'd keep some of those butterflies whole and applique them onto the finished top, as if they were flying up out of the quilt... just an idea. :-D

Kimkankwilt 01-18-2011 03:54 PM

Hi...that's kinda what I have in mind, but I only have a smidge of fabric left
